where do they poop? are we all spidershitfaced?

iirc they don't poop at all.

As KQED points out in the video, face mites have no anus, instead storing their poop in their bodies for the full duration of their brief lives.

no anus, good life

That 'Rule Britannia' not only has a load of verses, but that their scansion strongly resembles that of Iron Maiden lyrics. Honestly, imagine this with Bruce wailing away and the old gallop riffs churning out:
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.
When Britain first, at heaven's command,Arose from out the azure main,This was the charter of the land,And Guardian Angels sang this strain:
The nations not so blest as theeMust, in their turn, to tyrants fall,While thou shalt flourish great and free:The dread and envy of them all.
Still more majestic shalt thou rise,More dreadful from each foreign stroke,As the loud blast that tears the skiesServes but to root thy native oak.
Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame;All their attempts to bend thee downWill but arouse thy generous flame,But work their woe and thy renown.
To thee belongs the rural reign;Thy cities shall with commerce shine;All thine shall be the subject main,And every shore it circles, thine.
The Muses, still with freedom found,Shall to thy happy coasts repair.Blest isle! with matchless beauty crowned,And manly hearts to guard the fair.
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!Britons never, never, never shall be slaves

Private jets fly at a higher altitude than commercial jets. Typically 6,000 - 8,000 feet higher, sometimes more.

That's a pretty cool fact! Never knew.
― peace, man, Wednesday, 28 July 2021 16:36 (two years ago) link
There seem to be a few reasons for it but at the center of it is the fact that they *can* fly higher (mechanically it's possible) and that they *choose* to fly higher to get out of the way of commercial traffic.
― Josefa, Wednesday, 28 July 2021 16:45 (two years ago) link
Not so much choosing as being directed to do so by air traffic control rules.

Nah. It's just really important for rich people to stay far above the riff-raff. It was mostly figurative for a long time, now they want it to be literal.
At some point, all the rich people will just be in permanent low-earth orbit in their sky-yachts while the surface-dwellers cling to piles of burning trash amid rising oceans

Huh. We see literally dozens of planes flying to and from O'Hare through our enormous windows on any given day but I guess it is always commercial aircraft (and they're often close enough to tell).

interesting way to disclose you live on a sky-yacht with enormous windows

The enormous windows are actually in the mansion which hangs from our sky-yacht by ropes of gold and the finest of silks.

Not really a shocking epiphany, but yesterday I discovered that "Mr. Hughes" in the song "Garden Party" referred to George Harrison. I always thought it was Howard Hughes.

I just read yesterday that Oswald Mosley was married in a secret ceremony in Goebbels' drawing room and Hitler was one of the 6 guests. And when he was imprisoned during the war it was in a small house in Holloway prison and he was permitted to take on other prisoners as servants!

I had no idea that the theme music to Curb Your Enthusiasm is adapted from a piece by Italian soundtrack composer Luciano Michelini, and originally appeared in a rare non-exploitation flick by trash maestro Sergio Martino - director of Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key, The Mountain of the Cannibal God and So Sweet... So Perverse among others.
